Isn't lithium infinitely recyclable?
I have heard that! But it's on the consumers to ensure they get the old packs to a place that can recycle them. Just like with existing car parts I imagine the suppliers could put a big core charge on replacement battery packs to ensure the old ones are returned for remanufacture.
I don’t think that’s even a concern. Current cars are already one of the most recycled products and that has barely anything to do with customers. There has to be incentive for the “final purchaser”, the junker
